# Standard NFC Implements Near-Field Communication (NFC). > **NOTE**
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 7. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version. ## **Modules to Import** ``` import controller from '@ohos.nfc.controller'; ``` ## controller.isNfcAvailable isNfcAvailable(): boolean Checks whether NFC is available. **Return value** | **Type**| **Description**| | -------- | -------- | | boolean | Returns **true** if NFC is available; returns **false** otherwise.| ## controller.openNfc openNfc(): boolean Opens NFC. **Required permissions**: ohos.permission.MANAGE_SECURE_SETTINGS **System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.NFC **Return value** | **Type**| **Description**| | -------- | -------- | | boolean | Returns **true** if the operation is successful; returns **false** otherwise. | ## controller.closeNfc closeNfc(): boolean Closes NFC. **Required permissions**: ohos.permission.MANAGE_SECURE_SETTINGS **System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.NFC **Return value** | **Type**| **Description** | | -------- | ------------------------------------------- | | boolean | Returns **true** if the operation is successful; returns **false** otherwise.| ## controller.isNfcOpen isNfcOpen(): boolean Checks whether NFC is open. **System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.NFC **Return value** | **Type**| **Description** | | -------- | ----------------------------------- | | boolean | Returns **true** if NFC is open; returns **false** otherwise.| ## controller.getNfcState getNfcState(): NfcState Obtains the NFC state. **System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.NFC **Return value** | **Type**| **Description** | | -------- | ---------------------- | | NfcState | NFC state obtained. For details, see [NfcState](#nfcstate).| ## controller.on('nfcStateChange') on(type: "nfcStateChange", callback: Callback<NfcState>): void Subscribes to NFC state changes. **System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.NFC **Parameter** | **Name**| **Type**| **Mandatory**| **Description**| | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | | type | string | Yes| Event type to subscribe to. The value is **nfcStateChange**.| | callback | Callback<NfcState> | Yes| Callback invoked to return the NFC state changes.| ## controller.off('nfcStateChange') off(type: "nfcStateChange", callback?: Callback<NfcState>): void Unsubscribes from the NFC state changes. **System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.NFC **Parameter** | **Name**| **Type**| **Mandatory**| **Description**| | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | | type | string | Yes| Event type to unsubscribe from. The value is **nfcStateChange**.| | callback | Callback<NfcState> | No| Callback used to return the NFC state changes. If this parameter is not specified, all callbacks associated with the specified event will be unregistered.| **Example** ```js import nfcController from '@ohos.nfcController'; var NFC_STATE_NOTIFY = "nfcStateChange"; var recvNfcStateNotifyFunc = result => { console.info("nfc state receive state: " + result); } // Subscribe to the NFC state changes. nfcController.on(NFC_STATE_NOTIFY, recvNfcStateNotifyFunc); // Unsubscribe from the NFC state changes. nfcController.off(NFC_STATE_NOTIFY, recvNfcStateNotifyFunc); ``` ## NfcState Enumerates the NFC states. | Name| Default Value| Description| | -------- | -------- | -------- | | STATE_OFF | 1 | Off| | STATE_TURNING_ON | 2 | Turning on| | STATE_ON | 3 | On| | STATE_TURNING_OFF | 4 | Turning off|
